What vacuum is needed? Why?

best vacuum for up & go app cleaners
ideal for home clean check icon
Ideal vacuum
Canister vacuum type
Why it works
  • Flexible use (stairs, etc) especially with attacments
  • Has the most capacity
  • Great for Fresh Start deep cleanings, move-in/move-out cleanings, or regular cleaning services
Requirements
  • At least 1 bag needed for cleaning. (more depending on home size and pets)
good vacuum for up & go app cleaners
okay for cleaning icon
Stick vaccuum / sweeper
Not for deep cleaning (Fresh Start)
How we can make it work:
  • If it is high-powered, with a battery that lasts
  • If cordless: fully charged before cleaning, and with charging cable available
  • If it has attachments and a removable hose to clean furniture, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas
  • If you have a stick vacuum or sweeper, and it's your first cleaning appointment, select the option to have Up & Go provide the vacuum. At your appointment, the team can look at your vacuum and discuss options for future cleanings.
Why it's challenging:
  • Compartment tends to be small, has to be emptied frequently, difficult for deep cleanings. Especially so with pets
  • Battery tends to die quickly
  • Many models designed for light daily use, and do not have sufficient suction or storage capacity
not good vacuums for up & go app cleaners
not good for cleaning icon
Not reccomended
Upright vaccuum
Why it's challenging:
  • Don't work for stairs or furniture, which means they aren't sufficient for cleanings
hand held vacuum not recommended for housekeeping

not good for cleaning icon

Not reccomended
Handheld vacuum
Why it’s challenging:
  • May be useful tool in your daily use (spot clean up), but this is not a true vacuum

How do I give entry instructions?

On the appointment confirmation page, you will provide instructions for the cleaning partner to access your space. For your first appointment, you can either be at home to meet your cleaning partner or leave the key with a doorman.

Do I tip?

Tips are not expected. If you do choose to tip for a job well done, you may be looking for guidance about how much to tip. Tip amounts, while entirely up to you, are commonly 15% of the cost of service.

Tips may be paid via cash or check to your cleaning partner. Up & Go will notify all users when tipping becomes available through the platform.

What if I'm not happy with the service?

If you are not satisfied with the cleaning service you received, or have another concern, notify Up & Go within 48 hours following your appointment start time using our quality concern form. We will review each submitted complaint to evaluate whether the cleaning was completed to our standards and any other concerns. Up & Go will respond promptly with our assessment and any proposed resolution.

As part of our mission to ensure fair wages and working conditions for domestic workers, including addressing the cleaning industry’s history of wage theft, as a policy we do not issue refunds for work completed as described in our service policies. We may adjust this policy on a case-by-case basis (for instance, if we determine that a particular aspect of the service was not completed).

Why is my price an estimate?

To offer both you and our cleaning partners the fairest rate based on home size and cleaning needs, your Up & Go booking includes an estimated price. The final price will be confirmed by your service professional at your appointment based on the size and condition of your home. We ask that customers be available during the first 15 minutes of your appointment by phone, email, or in-person to discuss and confirm any necessary changes to the price in order to accurately reflect the services to be provided.

We do our best to offer estimated prices that reflect typical home sizes and service needs, but every home is different. In rare cases, if the cleaning partner determines that the appropriate service price exceeds the estimate, we will contact you during the first 15 minutes of the appointment and before we start the job. You will be charged the final price of your cleaning after the job is completed.

If the cleaning professional reaches out to confirm a price adjustment and is unable to reach you, you will be charged the adjusted price based on your space. In these cases, the office is available to clarify any questions about your final price.

How long will my cleaning take?

Your order includes estimated hours based on average cleaning times for your home size and service. Cleanings are priced at a flat rate, which means your cleaning partners will spend as long as is needed to make your home truly clean. Your cleaning partner can provide a more detailed time estimate upon arrival and review of your space.
